DeWalt D24000

[J Sid]

I think I am going to treat myself to a new wet cutter.
DeWalt D24000 Wet Saw / Tile Cutter - In stock for UK next day delivery
I know many of you have one, what do you think of it?, any down sides with it? Is the blade ok?
An early Christmas present.

Love mine! Best cutter I've ever used, which isn't really saying much... Beats a Rubi cutter any day of the week.

 

[Gazzer]

Had mine a while now and cant really fault it....well if I was being picky then ok, it has limitations but should it break tomorrow I would not hesitate replacing it with the same again.

I got one a few weeks ago. I used it to mitre some marble on one job and I was amazed with the results. That was with the standard blade too.
There's a few threads on here with all the pros and cons

 

[J Sid]

I do a lot of mitre's, so good to hear. Thanks

 

[judge]

The only downside with mine as ive hardly used it since i bought it a month ago:lol:

Biggest problem is big tiles get caught on the arm, u have to turn the tile over, bit of a pain really.
I think if i had known i would of bought a good big table/bench saw for the money.
Still , a great cutter

Dont expect great mitres on porcelain tiles with the standard dewalt blade its quite thin and gets pushed away from the tile on hard porcelain apart from that mine is fantastic and I would buy another one if mine ever packs in

what size do you have a problem with?

 

[widler]

Id have to measure but i recon its about 300 from blade to the arm which the blade is attached too.
Its a pain really,ive heard a few say it about this cutter, so if you are just using big tiles id buy a good bench saw.

 

[beanz]

I've not found flipping the tile to be too huge an issue really.

 

[widler]

Its just a pain, i had a bench/table cutter which i paid about £80 for, didnt have to turn owt over,just what i was used too.
when pay nigh on £800 for something and it does not perform like a £80 cutter, it kinda peed me off .
Still, its still smart though

i think that's kinda misleading, to be honest.. I know what you're saying about the arm, but I can't believe you could get even close to the quality of cut with an £80 cutter. The Dewalt far out performs the Rubi bridge cutter I was using before, and that was about £700.

 

[widler]

To be fair beanz,i aint misleading anyone, i said its a good cutter but the arm is a pain in the arse.
.the £80 cutter was actually a cracker, got it from germany , cut like a dream, used it on everything.
The difference between the 2 is the dewalt cuts mitres much better and the plunge feature, oh and £720
But hey you don't believe me, don't .
Have a good day now

 

[beanz]

Fair enough mate.. I just found it hard to believe, as I've not seen anything in the Dewalt's price range that cuts that nicely.What's £720!?! Lol

 

[cam_low]

Don't forget you can also buy ATS bullnosing attachment for it too.

 

[J Sid]

Hi cam. Got one for grinder, works great. You can get one for the D24000? Will look later.

You can indeed.

Im just using it on a 80m2 floor, it works like a dream on rhe 300x300 im laying, it is a great machine .(just the bloody arm, you must have more patience than me)
And im looking into buying the bullnose for it as well, looks a good bit of kit.

 

[Spud]

I rate my dewalt but if I was looking for a wet saw to mitre porcelain tiles I think i would look at the sigmas

 

[charlie1]

Dewalt is good cutter but don't think for a minute you could ever set it up in someone's house as the propaganda suggests. It's also quite a heavy beast and yes the arm gets in the way. Now for the good points, it's cuts with precision and is very powerfull. Remember, the DW24000 was not designed solely with tilers in mind, it's more designed for general builders... I read that on the JB forum

That arm puts me off every time I look at it.
